Plan to Acquire Floodplain Homes in McDowell County
McDowell County plans to acquire about 30 flood zone structures through a cooperative effort with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. Bids are sought for a certified real estate appraisal reviewer to assess fair market values. Owners who participate will relocate outside the floodplain and the demolished lots will become green space with no future rebuilding.
